The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A rough sandbox where you build machines from parts and fight in tactical multiplayer battles, with electronics warfare mechanics adding a layer of control and defense.

What players say

Players call it a Robocraft clone that captures old Robocraft's building depth but is abandoned, leaving the few matches filled with bots using pro player names. The UI is cluttered, handling feels wonky until you learn part placement, and reviewers split on whether the core building and electronic warfare are worth the dead multiplayer.
